'Race Warlord Poverty Pimps';

there are reasons Denny came up with the term. Here's a good one:Congresswoman Corrine Brown (D) is following in the footsteps of Reverends Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, as well as her fellow Florida colleague in the U.S. Congress, Frederica Wilson (D), by using race to explain why an early voting location situated in a predominantly black community was moved. Jacksonville’s Supervisor of Elections stated that the reason for the move was to cut back on monthly expenses that exceed $57,000 at the location in question, including utilities.

The new location would only cost taxpayers about $40,000 a year.
My first thought? "I wonder how much of that $57k PER MONTH was going to something other than election matters..."

We’ve talked about this before, but in fact, I don’t think there has
ever been a country like ours, where our elites are deliberately taught –
in our best schools – to hate and despise everything that we are,
everything that makes us unique. I don’t think there has ever been
another country where our elites are taught to be ashamed to call
themselves by our national name.

Or rather, there have been countries like that – but they were
countries who’d lost a war, and where the governing elite were in fact puppets of their erstwhile enemy, sent in to utterly destroy what the
country used to be and to make sure that it did not rise again and
(maybe) next time win the war.
Some real interesting thoughts follow; go read.

The foot's better, but it's going to take a while. The swelling's way down, but that toe and the area around is still sore and kind of tingly. I shall now find somewhere else to put it up.
One of the sucky things? The antibiotics I'm taking say 'Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight', which makes sitting out back problematic.

Somalia first;

There are big chunks of Somalia which are absolutely fine, it is around Mogadishu where the generals and politicians of the former (Barre) regime continue to act in the manner they became accustomed to - as war lords.

That situation isn't helped by the funds flowing in from the UN and directly from states in an attempt to establish one group or other as a new government (a monopoly warlord).

Overall in Somalia, most indicators of development have Somalia going from the bottom ranking in the 42 sub saharan African nations - when it had a state - to about mid way up the ranking by 2006.

There's a really good book (I loved reading it) by the late Michael van Notten (editted and contributed to bey Spencer Heath McCallum) which explains a lot of the cultural background

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their consciences. - C.S. Lewis

Y'all got on this boat for different reasons, but y'all come to the same place. So now I'm asking more of you than I have before. Maybe all. Sure as I know anything, I know this - they will try again. Maybe on another world, maybe on this very ground swept clean. A year from now, ten? They'll swing back to the belief that they can make people... better. And I do not hold to that. So no more runnin'. I aim to misbehave. - Capt. Mal

A Rifleman’s Prayer:Oh Lord, I would live my life in freedom, peace and happiness, enjoying the simple pleasures of hearth and home. I would die an old, old man in my own bed, preferably of sexual overexertion.

But if that is not to be, Lord, if monsters such as this should find their way to my little corner of the world on my watch, then help me to sweep those bastards from the ramparts, because doing that is good, and right, and just.

And if in this I should fall, let me be found atop a pile of brass, behind the wall I made of their corpses. Geek with a .45

"He's Black Council,", I said.

"Or maybe stupid," Ebenezar countered.

I thought about it. "Not sure which is scarier."

Ebenezar blinked at me, then snorted. "Stupid, Hoss. Every time. Only so many blackhearted villains in the world, and they only get uppity on occasion. Stupid's everywhere, every day." Ebenezar McCoy
